The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee
5.0
So this is like a 5* read, it's way better than a 4 star but it wasn't perfect either so maybe 4.5 but definitely deserves the 5 star rating for me. After that convoluted star rating explanation you didn't ask for here's what I thought - this was a feminist delight. So may great (as in quotable and relatable) comments about being a woman in a man's world. I wrote down several and fist to the air YES'd a few times.
Out of no where, for me, there was this jump from being historical fiction to fantasy but I don't want to give it away so you'll have to read it to find out what that is.
The levels of feminist revolt, the diversity in the characters - sexuality, race, gender norms - it's got something for everyone.
It is not my normal read but it is some of the best fiction I have read in awhile. Highly recommend.
The narrator is perfect for the characters, the accent added the right mood for the setting.
